Hello, John and
Doves,
No matter your
personal stance on the advisability of owning and caring for a
horse,
this potentiality
threatens to overtake horse owners in Connecticut:
Here is some of
what the Bible has to say about horses:
[The LORD
speaking...]
19 “Do you give the horse his might?
Do
you clothe his neck with a mane?
20 Do you make him leap like the locust?
His majestic snorting is terrifying.
21
He paws in the valley and exults in his
strength;
he goes out to meet the
weapons.
22 He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
he does not turn back from the sword.
23
Upon him rattle the quiver,
the
flashing spear, and the javelin.
24 With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground;
he cannot stand still at the sound of the
trumpet.
25 When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
the thunder of the captains, and the
shouting.

Be not like a horse or a mule, without
understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay
near you.
Psalm 32:9 ESV
__________________________________________________________
The horse is prepared for the day of
battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.
Proverbs 21:31
NLT

Guide a horse with a whip, a donkey with
a bridle, and a fool with a rod to his back!
Proverbs 26:3
NLT
__________________________________________________________
"On that day," says the LORD, "I will
cause every horse to panic and every rider to lose his nerve. I will watch over
the people of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of their
enemies.

13 Moses answered the
people, “Do not be afraid.
Stand firm and you will see
the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today
you will never see
again. 14 The Lord will fight
for you; you need only to be
still.”
[Please
read the whole chapter.]
The
result:
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang
this song to the LORD: "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed
gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the
sea.
